Charleville International Half Marathon 2026

The Charleville International Half Marathon follows a fast, lollipop-shaped route that starts and finishes on Bakers Road near St. Joseph’s Foundation. The entirely paved course travels east from Charleville into County Limerick, reaching the historic walled town of Kilmallock at the 10km mark. Renowned for being predominantly flat, the path follows long, straight sections of road that run parallel to the main Dublin-Cork railway line. While the opening kilometer features a slight descent, the route includes one short man-made bridge before a loop through Kilmallock. The run concludes by retracing the original path back to Charleville, ending with a challenging final climb into the finish area.
